Musee Jublains, Mayenne

I thought I would add some images of Gaulois Coins today from the Gallo-Roman Museum at Jublains, Mayenne.

The coins are difficult to photograph as they are set into a Perspex sheet so you can view both sides and lighting and back drop is not great. Next visit I will take some white card and update the photos. The collection has a few gold coins and a large amount of silver and copper pieces. Several coin hordes have been found in Mayenne district, most museums around the region have pieces of the Aulerci Diablintes coinage. Some moulds have also been found by archeologists also.

First up Silver coins

Neat coins! Noses feature prominently in most of them. Hope you are well.

Yes, the flip side which I will post has boars, chariots and horses!

All is well, still renovating the wargames room, painting 28mm Bretons and Gauls!

Cheers
